Mikoto Misaka - Railgun Test

Low powered test shot into pool shakes buildings, sends mist over roofs onto other people, and might be able to destroy an entire school campus.

> *BOOM!*

> The school buildings, sports hall, garden, and everything on the ground was shaken by the sudden explosion.

> There was a swimming pool behind the school. However, it was blocked by the building itself, so it was impossible to see it from here.

> The explosion had come from the swimming pool.

> Wasn’t the school building supposed to be in-between? The condensed mist still landed on Kongou’s hot face. The heat was removed from her face. The terrifying explosion had actually caused the water from the swimming pool to fly over here.

> “…That… What’s going on…?”

> Her face littered with water droplets, Kongou was stunned, her entire body trembling, as if someone had spit on her face. She touched her face, and then turned to look at the school.

> “Oh, yeah, you only transferred in during the second semester, so you might not know this. But that’s the Ace of Tokiwadai.”

> Hearing this sentence, Kongou remembered.

> There should be a girl standing at the swimming pool behind the school.

> That girl’s power should be classified as a "long-range" type, similar to Shirai's and Kongou's. However, as the destructive power was too great, they couldn’t test it using conventional methods. So, the teachers of Tokiwadai got headaches over it.

> The school prepared a specially designed course for her. If they didn’t weaken the power with the water of the swimming pool, forget about the test equipment; it was probable that the entire school could be destroyed. She was one of the only two Level 5s in Tokiwadai Middle School.

> The Railgun, Misaka Mikoto.

...

> “Ah, the water splashed all the way to where you were? Is there anything to really fuss about with that degree of power? I tried my best to control myself. If I had used my full power, not even the swimming pool would be enough to block it.”
